Another Suit Against Masterpiece Cakeshop Dismissed

[hookyIU1990]

This guy is just a punching bag at this point. He didn't want to create a cake celebrating someone's gender transition so the same attorney from before filed a suit.

You know, just leave the dude alone. Find another baker to create the cake. It’s not as if there aren’t plenty around who would do it.

This shit drives me crazy.

 

[hookyIU1990]

If I understand it correctly, it was dismissed because it was brought to a federal court first instead of a Colorado appeals court. So, the issue is still undecided, and the justices in the minority hold that it's procedural and that he did violate the Colorado law.

leaving him alone and getting your cake elsewhere would not be tolerant

tolerance requires he be brow-beaten by Jack-booted trans-lawyers into accepting their view, or suffer the consequences of having a rainbow star painted on his business windows so people know where NOT to shop, and posting a few Tolerance Enforcers outside to make sure “his kind” are shut down

His lawyers need to go on the offensive and sue the attorneys for vexatious litigation, etc. Must be some type of claim there.

CoH, go sign him up.

Did you read the ruling? This case dates back to an order that was refused back in 2017.

Agreed people should leave him alone, of course. I'm just saying it's possible they finally have, and it's just taking this long for the courts to catch up.

Can a state make a law that deprives a citizen of a right granted in the US Constitution?

Does a state law that compels a person to take actions which violate a "sincerely held religious belief" violate the US Constitution?

Even if the compelling is to satisfy the commerce desires of others? What if the others have alternatives and such state action is not "necessary" to uphold an alleged "compelling interest" in commerce? Or an interest in privacy-based rights such as same sex marriage or inter-racial marriage?

When 2 rights go walking, which one does the talking?

@mcmurtry66 now this is how you give a class. MTIOTF knows the answer to all these questions, but most posters on both sides of the political divide are going to get them wildly wrong.

It’s disgusting the way they keep going after this guy. What’s so hard to understand about “live and let live”?

 

[crazed_hoosier2]

vexatious

What a great word. I’m adding it to my lexicon so I can sound smart when I tear into Lawsuit, Inc. lawyers.

Yeah, I read it. What's the filing date have to do with it?

The attorney allegedly said he's gonna keep suing to teach the guy a lesson. He's been at it for 12 years. I wonder what the next suit will be about?

The government can't compel an artist to express a particular message.

From the press release:
On the same day the U.S. Supreme Court announced it would hear Phillips’ first case—in which he prevailed in 2018 after Colorado tried to force him to create a custom cake celebrating a same-sex wedding—an attorney called Masterpiece Cakeshop requesting that Phillips create a custom cake that would symbolize and celebrate a gender transition. The attorney then called again to request another custom cake, one depicting Satan smoking marijuana, to “correct the errors of [Phillips’] thinking.”

Just bake the ****ing cake. Amirite?

Just have the baby and give it up for adoption, amirite?

Or send 5 people a day with protected categories to apply for jobs with that lawyer and sue him every time he refuses to accept an application or hire them. Hoist him upon his own pitard.

Too bad he can’t sue the Attorney and everyone involved for $100 million.

It’s just malicious crap. Find something better to do as an attorney.

Make it an expensive penalty to waste everybody’s time and putting this guy through such an ordeal.

This is about a lawyer with a vendetta.

 

[hookyIU1990]

This is about a lawyer with a vendetta.

The baker made some comments on the first one about it being a singular religious event, so the trans lawyer decided to test it and see if it really was about a singular event.

Here's an article from a few years ago in which the win (at the time) was celebrated.

This Trans Woman Won a Major Victory Against Masterpiece Cakeshop After Being Denied Service

A court fined Jack Phillips $500 after refusing to make a pink and blue cake for Autumn Scardina’s birthday.

Nothing worse than a tolerant vendetta.

Take his license.

 

[MyTeamIsOnTheFloor]

“ For more than 12 years now, Phillips has been relentlessly pursued and mocked by government officials and activists who disagree with his views.”

The Tolerant Left

 

[MyTeamIsOnTheFloor]

New plan - every anti-abortion activist in Colorado should seek to hire him to sue doctors and hospitals to enjoin and prevent abortions, then sue him when he refuses to provided his services due to his beliefs.

Then every anti-trans, then every you-get-it.

Live and let live, or suffer the consequences.

I know. But there seem to be far too many on the ultra left who buy into this nonsense. If we could use a 95% confidence interval and chop off the 2.5% at either extreme this country might have a chance
